I´m writing to promote our traditional SEMINARS.
I will be presenting the seminars in English, so, I´m going to explain the purpose of each.
PRONUNCIATION FOR BRAZILIANS HAVAD BARÃO GERALDO 14/06 7PM
This seminar focuses on the basic principles of phonetics applied to English as a Second Language. I will talk about most common mistakes Brazilians make when they speak English, mistakes that many times cause embarrasing communication breakdowns. There will be many examples of mispronunciations as well as tips and mnemonics to improve these unwelcome errors.
INTONATION: HOW TO MAKE YOUR ENGLISH SOUND MORE NATURAL HAVAD TAQUARAL 16/06 7H30PM
Intonation helps to create the "music" of a language. There are high notes and low notes when we speak. If we didn´t have intonation in languages, our voices would all sound very robotic and boring, wouldn´t they? The problem is that the intonation patterns in Portuguese are different from the intonation patterns in English. So, sometimes we speak English, using the intonation in Portuguese and the result of this could be funny, weird, unintelligible or even misunderstood. This seminar is aimed at explaining the most common intonation patterns in English.
